Find Your Feet with Fibromyalgia

01 May Find Your Feet with Fibromyalgia

Find Your Feet with Fibromyalgia is Western Australia’s first fibromyalgia management course. It is being offered in Victoria for the first time.

In this course you’ll learn what your diagnosis means, best practice research for management, and how to be in charge of getting the health care you need.

The program is delivered by Dr Kaye Brand, founder of The Fibromyalgia Support Network WA, and Rachael West, of Yoga for Pain, to meet a growing need for tailored support services in Australia.

Topics in the interactive program include:

What is Fibromyalgia and how is it diagnosed?

Research into best practice management

Why it’s important to consider your mental wellbeing as well as your physical health

Getting exercise when you’re fatigued: perspectives from a physio and a yoga teacher

Communicating effectively with health professionals

Skills in relaxation and self-awareness

Setting meaningful, manageable goals

You’ll also enjoy a taster of gentle yoga specially tailored for fibromyalgia, guided relaxation and group discussion. A unique learning environment provides participants with practical tools to make small changes in their lives that make a big difference to how they feel. The environment is made as body-friendly as possible. You are welcome, and highly encouraged, to sit on the floor, move or stand as you need.
